facebook for dummies

i did not believe my eyes... however, this 'little' book fills 360 pages telling you:

Find out how to maximize your Facebook experience

Create a Facebook profile that enhances your real-world relationships

Whether you want to connect with friends already on Facebook or be the first on your block to join, this is the book you need. Written by a pair of Facebook insiders, Facebook For Dummies shows how to create a profile, communicate with friends, play with Facebook applications, and explore the unique ways Facebook can improve your business.

Discover how to:

• Create a profile to your liking

• Share photos and messages with friends

• Join networks for your city, school, or work

• Manage the amount of information you share

• Use Facebook for business

and there seems to be a lot more of this 'literature'... I'm waiting for the first PhD proposal on researching facebook... or maybe it's just me finding this weird and strange...

Application fairy tales

Once upon a time, a little girl decided to study. The world was nice and shiny and the application procedure was very easy. Also the studies went well, so she managed to finish and get a shiny new Bachelors degree (-- hang on, it is actually called Laurea--- why? it is written Bsc on the homepage.. -- Oh, that is just for marketing reasons--).
After her graduation, the day came when she should make up her mind about how and where to continue with her studies, because she felt it was time for some Master plan. So our little girl dived into the world of electronic communication and browsed for weeks and months to find some suitable program. It was a long, hard task, especially as most of the requirements where written in a very demanding way so that even superwoman could hardly fulfil them. In the end she decided to still give it a try and this was when the bureocratical monster woke up and left its cave.
'You want an English version of the diploma? We dont have such a thing! Just take this certificate.' 'But.. there is not the same stuff written on it.. and it is different from the diploma supplement as well.' 'Does that matter?'... So our poor little girl fought her way through the wilderness of certificates, language proofs, course transcripts, reference letters, and curriculum vitaes until the last big hurdle came up on the horizon: the game called 'collect the signatures you need'. Currently she is stuck there, and if you have any idea of how to solve this task, please let post them so her chances of letting destiny rule over her applications will be better...

About Computer Scientists...

it is worrying, but on occasions I realise that in fact I do start to identify myself with this term.. But at the same time, I am developing a slight allergy towards certain small brained people broadcasting in complete obliviousness some very nice rumors about 'us'...
Recent conversation:

'Dont worry about leaving your girlfriend alone with a computer scientist, he wouldnt know what to do with her!' - 'Of course they would!! They would take her to the museum to admire the van Neumann machine!'

(ok, kidding, I didnt reply this...) what I said was:

'How can you be so sure?' - 'I KNOW these guys.....(nodding very satisfied..)'
'Really?? I know some of them too..' - 'No, come on... everybody knows this is the truth..'
'But... I've studied with them for 3 years (and I think I could find counter examples)' - 'eh? WHAT?'
'I just finished studies in Computer Science.'

- 'YOU?!?! (slightly shrill voice) But - you're a WOMAN?!?!? (this is soo scandalous, how could you possibly do SUCH a thing... )'

Carneval...

so... now i have the honor to officially contradict myself.. in fact, computer scientists are probably the people that can party best.. the trick is just to get them out of the office first.... ;) then they even will come to carneval dressed as fencing pro, mafioso, gigolo, red light customer, star trek commander (who could have guessed :) , or even as really prudish geek.. to summarize, we had a looot of fun and fotos can be found on olga's picasa, or you can ask me for them :D

i just have to say, i enjoyed the evening very very much and i'm happy to have such friends to go out with! hugs to all of you :)

Mountains, Snow, and Sun -> Sella Ronda!!

Yesterday I finally managed to do one of the 'must' activities in south tirol during winter: I went skiing with some friends and we did the complete sella ronda! we were very lucky with the weather so we had a beautiful sight of all the mountains around. it was a lot of fun, we even did some pacours with jumps and really nice hills and curves.. on the first go i lost a ski and crashed, but on the second one, the jumps went really nicely and gave me a good adrenalin shock :) as my camera was not damaged during my little accident I can provide you with some fotos. enjoy!

Masters wanted

As some of you probably already know, I'm searching for nice master or phd programs (only the combined ones though, as I'm only holding a bsc so far...)
If you have heard of an interesting course, please please please let me know as soon as possible, as most application deadlines for start in september are quite soon...
Thanks a lot, have a good one :)
